Sanding and Shaping the Outer Hull




Sanding and scraping the outer hull took lots of time and energy. The tools primarily used invovled a hand plane, and spoke shave. These are the old school utensils that stand the test of time. At this point, I also removed the screws that held the stems in place. As you see the canoe here, it contains no metal! It is only held together by glue and epoxy. It is now waiting for the fiberglass and epoxy to give it strength.
I did not have photo's of how I shaped the inner hull. That was fairly detailed. I was glad to have purchased a special contoured scraping tool that made this much easier.
